From an email:
“Hoping to tackle the age-old question of whether to go to the brunch place with the Champagne bar or the Bloody Mary bar, Pennsylvania 6 has solved this dilemma with the launch of their ultimate Champagne and Bloody Bar.
For $18, brunch guests will have the ability to order unlimited vodka and champagne with exclusive access to various elixirs, juices, toppings and garnishes at its juice bar located in the chandelier-dripping Oxford dining room.
Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.”

Thanks to a reader for sending. Makes sense, despite their ordeal/delays in opening, I totally forgot about them! How does this one stack up to the other Ray’s? You can see their menu here.

Yesterday folks were very excited to learn that they’d be able to soon get some Simit (Turkish Bagels) in the District. Turns out soon meant really soon – they’re now open (Monday-Thursday 7-8, Friday-Saturday 7-9, Sunday 8-8) and of course you can get more than just Simit – thanks to the owners for sending us the new menu for DC: (more…)

Right next to the metro (and Buffalo Wild Wings.) Chix will be opening this location this summer.

This one hurts. Lawrence’s II Petworth Carryout was located at the corner of Georgia and Shepherd St, NW. One of the few spots left that were good and cheap.

An update on those Turkish Bagels we heard about in December. They’re very close:
“Simit is a traditional bread eaten throughout the Balkans and Mediterranean for breakfast and as a snack during the day. Often called a “Turkish Bagel,” Simit are actually softer and lighter on the inside and crunchier on the outside than a bagel.”

Also a Lilly Pulitzer “Resort Wear & Chic Beach Clothing” is coming next door:

Alta Strada and Conosci located at 465 K Street, NW
Ed. Note: Anyone try Alta Strada yet?
From a press release:
“James Beard award winning chef Michael Schlow will open Conosci, [pronounced ka-no-shi], on Friday, April 15. Conosci, which translates loosely to ‘do you know?’ or ‘are you aware of’ in Italian, is an intimate 30-seat crudo bar, tucked away inside Schlow’s latest DC restaurant, Alta Strada City Vista. Guests enter through lush, blue velvet drapes to be transported to a completely different dining experience from Conosci’s Italian counterpart, which serves imaginative crudos, a daily soup, seasonal vegetable dishes, and other inspired creations.
